5V0-35.21 Exam Dumps - VMware vRealize Operations - Cloud Management Automation 2023 Questions and Answers

• VMware Cloud Services is a platform that provides a unified and consistent way to access and manage VMware Cloud products and services across multiple clouds and regions. VMware Cloud Services allows you to create and manage Organizations, which are logical units that group users, services, and resources under a common identity and billing account12.
• An Organization Owner is a user role that has full administrative privileges and control over the Organization and its services. An Organization Owner can invite other users to join the Organization and assign them different roles and permissions. An Organization Owner can also remove users from the Organization or revoke their invitations34.
• An invitation is a request that an Organization Owner sends to a user to join the Organization and access the services. An invitation contains a link that the user can click to accept the invitation and onboard the Organization. An invitation also specifies the roles and permissions that the user will have in the Organization and its services5 .
• An invitation is valid for 7 days before it is revoked. This means that the user has 7 days to accept the invitation and onboard the Organization, otherwise the invitation will expire and the user will not be able to join the Organization. The Organization Owner can resend the invitation if the user did not accept it within 7 days, or cancel the invitation if the user is no longer needed in the Organization .

According to the VMware vRealize Operations Reference Materials, the purpose of the self-provider option within the dashboard definition is to indicate whether objects appearing in the widget are defined in the widget or are provided by another widget source. The self-provider option is a checkbox that can be enabled or disabled for each widget in a dashboard. When the self-provider option is enabled, it means that the widget has its own object selector, and the user can choose the objects to display in the widget from the available inventory. When the self-provider option is disabled, it means that the widget does not have its own object selector, and the objects to display in the widget are provided by another widget in the same dashboard. For example, a widget that shows the metrics of a selected object can be configured as a non-self-provider, and it can receive the object selection from another widget that shows the list of objects. The other options are incorrect because they are either false or irrelevant. The self-provider option does not affect the refresh content setting, the custom set of metrics, or the automatic refreshing of the data in the widget display. These are separate settings that can be configured for each widget independently of the self-provider option. References: Create a Dashboard; Widget Configuration; Dashboard Interactions

An alert notification is a message that vRealize Operations sends to an external system or user when an alert is generated that meets certain criteria. An alert notification can help the administrator to identify and troubleshoot problems immediately after they occur. To enable alert notifications, the administrator must configure an outbound alert plug-in, which is a component that connects vRealize Operations to the external alert notification system, such as email, REST, SNMP, or log file. The administrator can also create notification rules, which are filters that specify which alerts are sent out for the supported outbound alert plug-ins1.

The other options are not accurate descriptions of the characteristics of an alert notification. Option A is incorrect because notifications are not configured out-of-the-box, but require the administrator to configure the outbound alert plug-in and the notification rules. Notifications also do not need to be explicitly enabled for each object discovered by vRealize Operations, but can be applied to multiple objects based on the notification rules1. Option B is incorrect because a SMTP Management pack is not required to enable email notifications, but the Standard Email plug-in, which is a built-in outbound alert plug-in that sends notifications to one or more email addresses2. Option C is incorrect because notifications are not configured as part of an alert’s symptom definition, but as a separate configuration that applies to one or more alerts. A symptom definition is a condition that indicates a potential problem with an object, and is used to trigger an alert, not a notification3.

 To estimate the monthly cost of running workloads in IBM Cloud, the administrator can use the What-If Analysis feature of vRealize Operations, which allows forecasting the impact of migrating a workload to a public cloud instance such as AWS, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud or to VMware Cloud on AWS1. The administrator can select the Migration Planning option and choose IBM Cloud as the target cloud provider. Then, the administrator can import the existing VMs that support the business-critical applicationfrom the custom group in vRealize Operations and select all machines to be included in the scenario. Finally, the administrator can run the scenario and get the vRealize Operations analysis and assessment of the plan, which includes the cost and capacity information for the IBM Cloud region2. References: 1: What-If Analysis - Migration Planning: Public Cloud 2: Migration Planning

 A published catalog is a catalog that is made available for access by organizations outside the VMware Cloud Director installation. A published catalog can be consumed by a different VMware Cloud Director instance in a different country, as long as the system administrator has enabled external catalog publishing for the organization that owns the catalog,and the remote organization has subscribed to the catalog1. A published catalog can contain vApp templates and media files that are synchronized between the publisher and the subscriber, and can be used to deploy vApps and VMs in the remote organization2.

The other options are not correct. A subscribed catalog is a catalog that is created by subscribing to a published catalog from another organization. A subscribed catalog cannot be shared across VMware Cloud Director instances, as it is dependent on the published catalog1. A content library catalog is a catalog that is synchronized with a vSphere content library, which is a container for VM templates, vApp templates, and other types of files. A content library catalog cannot be shared across VMware Cloud Director instances, as it is specific to a vCenter Server instance3. A shared catalog is a catalog that is shared with other users or organizations within the same VMware Cloud Director installation. A shared catalog cannot be shared across VMware Cloud Director instances, as it is limited to the local installation.

 The scoreboard widget configuration option that possibly caused this problem is Self Provider set to On. The Self Provider option determines whether the widget shows metrics of the objects selected during editing of the widget or selected on another widget. When the Self Provider option is set to On, the widget shows metrics of the objects selected during editing of the widget. When the Self Provider option is set to Off, the widget shows metrics of the objects selected on another widget. Therefore, if the administrator wants to enable a custom metric configuration file to a scoreboard widget in a dashboard, and the custom metrics are defined for a specific object type, the administrator should set the Self Provider option to Off and select the appropriate object type on another widget. Otherwise, the scoreboard widget will not show the new metrics at all, because the custom metric configuration file will not match the object type selected during editing of the widget. References: How the Scoreboard Widget and Configuration Options Work; Solved: How to configure Generic Scoreboard widget to interact with…

Data nodes are the type of node in a vRealize Operations (vROps) design that allow an administrator to scale out vROps to monitor very large environments. Data nodes are additional nodes that have all the vROps services installed, such as UI, Controller, Analytics, Collector, and Persistence. Data nodes perform data collection and analysis, and increase the capacity and performance of the vROps cluster. Data nodes can be added or removed as needed to adjust to the changing workload and environment size. Remote collectors are not a type of node in a vROps design, but a separate component that can be deployed to collect data from remote sources and send it to the vROps cluster. Remote collectors do not store data or perform analysis, and do not increase the capacity or performance of the vROps cluster. Replica Primary nodes and Primary nodes are not the type of node that allow an administrator to scale out vROps to monitor very large environments, but the type of node that provide high availability and continuous availability for the vROps cluster. Replica Primary nodes and Primary nodes contain critical services that cannot be replicated across all cluster nodes, such as Global xDB, NTP server, and GemFire locator. Replica Primary nodes and Primary nodes do not perform data collection and analysis, and do not increase the capacity or performance of the vROps cluster. References: About vRealize Operations Cluster Nodes, section “About vRealize Operations Cluster Nodes”. vRealize Operations Manager User Guide, section “Create and Configure Dashboards”.

To add an additional data node to the existing vRealize Operations cluster, you need to deploy a new data node from the Administration Ul. A data node is a node that collects, stores, processes, and analyzes data from your environment. You can expand an existing installation to add a data node by following these steps1:

• In a Web browser, navigate to the name or IP address of the node that will become the data node. The setup wizard appears, and you do not need to log in to vRealize Operations.
• Click Expand an Existing Installation.
• Click Next.
• Enter a name for the node (for example, Data-1).
• From the Node Type drop-down, select Data.
• Enter the FQDN or IP address of the primary node and click Validate.
• Select Accept this certificate and click Next.
• Verify the vRealize Operations administrator username of admin.
• Enter the vRealize Operations administrator password.
• Click Next, and click Finish.

The other options are not correct because they do not deploy a new data node from the Administration Ul. Option A is incorrect because cloning an existing data node is not supported and may cause data inconsistency. Option C is incorrect because deploying a new virtual appliance from an OVF file is not enough to add a data node to the cluster. You still need to configure the node type and join the cluster from the Administration Ul. Option D is incorrect because enabling High Availability in the Administration Ul does not add a data node to the cluster. It only creates a replica of the primary node for failover purposes. References: Expand an Existing Installation to Add a Data Node

The type of cost driver that the administrator should configure to allocate the cost of database software across a vSphere cluster that has been licensed is Applications. Applications are software components that run on top of the virtual machines and provide business value. Examples of applications are database software, web servers, middleware, etc. You can assign application costs to VMs based on the type of application they run, such as Oracle, SQL Server, Apache, etc. You can also create custom application types and assign costs to them. By configuring application costs, you can track the expenses of running different types of applications on your private cloud and optimize your resource utilization and budget12. References: 1: Application Cost Driver 2: Costing with VMware vRealize Operations Part 1

 The frequency at which new services are discovered when using Service Discovery in vRealize Operations is every 5 minutes. Service Discovery is a feature of vRealize Operations that allows the administrator to discover and monitor the applications and services running on the virtual machines in the environment1. Service Discovery can be performed using two methods: credential-less and credential-based. Credential-less Service Discovery uses VMware Tools to query the guest operating system for the list of running processes, and then matches them with a predefined set of signatures to identify the applications andservices2. Credential-based Service Discovery uses the credentials provided by the administrator to log in to the guest operating system and run commands or scripts to discover the applications and services3. Credential-less Service Discovery collects the information about the services running inside the guest every five minutes4. Credential-based Service Discovery collects the information about the services running inside the guest every 24 hours5. Therefore, the frequency at which new services are discovered when using Service Discovery in vRealize Operations depends on the method used, but the most frequent one is every 5 minutes for credential-less Service Discovery. References:
